Using Java to display a log file in a browser

Question

Can anyone advise & provide sample code in order to forfill the above aim?
The log files would be on a Solaris server, so I guess the strategy would be to run an "rsh 10.1.1.10 -l username cat /errors/log1.log" and put the output to a browser? or not?
Any suggestions / alternatives will be most helpful. 3 Dukes up for it!
Thanks.

Try placing the following in a controler servlet:
try {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
File file = new File("fileName");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line = reader.readLine();
while(line != null) {
out.println(line);
line = reader.readLine();
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
} catch (IOException ioe) {
}
